. it's eight o'clock here in moscow and you're watching international live from our studio with me now to to to a very warm welcome to the program. russia is warning that the u.s. is getting ready to intervene in venezuela and topple him battled president nicolas maduro up to now washington has only thrown its support behind self declared president why do stopping sanctions on officials in the government and inviting others to follow the lead the secretary of the russian security council says the u.s. troop movements to colombia and puerto rico precursors to a military invasion medina the has more. and since the pressure on the van as well and president nicolas maduro is mounting as the u.s. supported south nominated candidate one why don't you. to bring him down even as

well a colombia border has arisen become quite a hot spot and this ongoing standoff as the u.s. has decided to deliver humanitarian aid. as well and colombia claiming that the country is suffering from a humanitarian crisis on the other hand venezuelan president nicolas maduro has rejected these claims saying that this delivery might be used as a pretext to enter the country and now russia's security council has shared duros concerns by saying that deploying troops and special ops forces to puerto rico and columbia washington is getting ready to intervene in vain as well and topple its leader this is what the secretary of russia's security council had to say on this matter showing sarcasm and arrogance towards the new zone people the u.s.

is preparing a military invasion of an independent state transferring american special forces to puerto rico landing u.s. forces in colombia all the facts indicate that the parents are going to strengthen the troops in the region to oust legally elected president. people understand this world reaction their refusal to accept the goods from the aggressor country and support the president while the secretary also added that the u.s. has offered to hold a meeting on the situation and as well aware the russian side and moscow agreed however these two meeting never took place and it was rescheduled using different reasons for several times so while russia's security council as well as been as well a warning of a possible u.s. military intervention washington as well as self nominated candidate one dog have never ruled out that particular possible. moreover go i dog recently said that

it is time to take action and the other day he also tweeted that it's time to make a decision and proposed to the international community to keep all options open the warnings from russia come shortly after president called the u.s. for preparing to wage a war over venice was vast oil resources he blames washington for stirring discontent in his country the united states wants venezuela's oil and they're willing to go to war for about oil they are trying to fabricate a crisis justify political escalation and the military intervention in venezuela. meanwhile the so-called lima group gathered in colombia with opposition leaders to discuss the crisis the bloc of fourteen countries is sending an appeal to the international criminal court demanding it consider the humanitarian situation in venezuela with an eye on what they call to do is criminal violence against his own people the vast majority of the lima group back to the u.s.

vice president was also among the attendees to pledge additional funding for those who signed with washington. today also it's my privilege to announce that the united states will provide an additional thirty six million dollars to support our partners in the region as you come to the aid of the venezuelan people fleeing from the deprivation pressure of them to the regime that's good people of venezuela should your freedom we will go with you. you go would go. by oh how do you. pence has also had a message for the self-proclaimed interim president that the us is one hundred percent behind him he also called on the venezuelan military to accept an offer of amnesty all face being held accountable for the weekend's border violence. as the limit how discussions around two hundred protesters gathered outside the colombian

ministry of foreign affairs they denounced both the prospect of foreign intervention and colluding with washington to attack. as political and civil tensions have advanced way around political analyst chris bambery shared with us his thoughts on the country's future. while the americans are trying to do is put pressure on the military venezuela to shift to do so for that hasn't happened the weakness of the druze position is that unlike his predecessor hugo chavez speech of the coup twenty years ago which of those who call a mass movement that was insurrection crackers received to save them. no. one almost entirely on the army and the reason that kind of thus far we haven't seen this kind of mass movement come into easy so the throes of the thousand one dollar question is is what. is it going to continue support will do and if that's the case the potential for civil war personally i'm cynical about

the americans exhibiting directly because i believe the stomach for it in the united states of america pushed the right course to libya and also the sight of american troops in any white american country brings back memories of america's record on that continent. trey's may has told m.p.'s they'll get to say on whether to rule out a no deal bragg's it and crash out of the in a month's time or to delay britain's departure the vote will be triggered the commons rejects the prime minister's private plan next month her offer was met with yet more skepticism from m.p.'s. but i've lost count of the number of times the prime minister has come to this house to explain a further delay voted to end on certainty i back in the deal the government. here the prime minister can surely not be unaware of the fear out there in the country about what no deal means my sole focus throughout all of this has been on

getting a deal that enables us to leave the european union on the twenty ninth of march with a deal this is a shameful moment nothing has changed from the fact that some of us who used to sit over there are now sitting over here it is the prime minister's obstinacy that is blocking a resolution it is the right honorable gentleman who has kept no deal on the table by refusing to agree. i will not sit one more day and listen to her crow about employment. where where our lives employment is for living and get used bro you can only be described as grotesquely reckless yeah the world of politics is a fickle circle place take a listen to all the times to reason may insisted that it was her way or the highway

the choice before us is clear this deal all leave with no deal all the or no bricks it at all we can choose to leave with no deal we could risk no breaks it all before we can choose to unite and support the best deal that can be negotiated this deal with for so long as we fail to agree a deal the risk of an accidental no deal increases the deal we've negotiated is a deal that almost a referendum on as a result of the referendum and it's the best deal if it indeed is the only deal available any delay is a delay it doesn't address the issue it doesn't. resolve the issue i think there is the opportunity to leave with the deal on the twenty ninth of march and that's what we're going to be working on well that was the gist of her message up until as late as last night when she gave a press conference in sharm el sheikh but today following a cabinet meeting where is it is she ended up with her back against the wall to

reason may has an ounce that she will be holding a second meaningful vote might choose day the twelfth of march at the latest then if she loses that vote the government she says will hold another parliamentary vote on whether or not the house supports a no deal departure from the e.u. and if we end up in a situation where both to reason may's deal and a no deal scenario have been rejected by politicians in parliament then on the fourteenth of march the government will start the parliamentary process that will approve what to reason may be referred to as a short and necessary delay to britain's departure from the e.u. a delay of around about two months to resume a said and some politicians started saying immediately that this delay such a short delay would simply prolong the kind of chaos that we're seeing now and put

all of the prospect of a cliff edge no deal bragg's it by simply just a couple of months to resume a's argument is that we can't possibly the u.k. can't be members of the e.u. by the end of june when there will be e.u. parliamentary elections that just isn't an option the u.k. shouldn't be taking part in those if it wants to leave the e.u. to resume a was under intense pressure from some of her own cabinet ministers who were threatening to resign if two reason they didn't accept this option oh. of a delay to break is it and jeremy corbin the leader of the opposition labor party he's come out with his own brags that announcement and that's that the labor party won't support to resume maze of botched plan as jeremy corbyn calls it so for all those thinking that this brags it ride would be over either way after the twenty

ninth of march well now it could be suspended up in the air until the end of may or if labor gets its way there could be another public vote to potentially cancel the entire thing just another day in the land of bragg's it. a series of facebook news pages linked to our back online after the phone producing them agreed to the social media giants new demands facebook have blocked the popular pages for ten days the four sites including in the now were restored after details about the project's owners were made clearer they're produced by the german registered company in the thick media which is largely by artie's video news agency ruptly rafiq media insists it's editorially independent of r.t. c.e.o. and he said now he says facebook's demands are unprecedented. after ten days down pages including in the now a back up we have to put an unprecedented disclaimer in our part section no channel

has ever been required to do that let's hope this policy will be rolled out and be required of all channels not just ones that see things some people don't like. facebook took the pages down only after it was contacted by u.s. news network c.n.n. but it was five days after that when the social platform fine contacted the pages produces facebook doesn't currently have a formal policy in place requiring state backed outlets to disclose their funding but a spokesperson revealed that it seeking to exhibit potentially misleading behavior with more to be announced well let's bring in martin summers a journalist and political commentator to discuss this further martin thanks for coming on to the program now should we expect the new facebook rules to be applicable to all state funded projects from now on or will specific countries like russia get this kind of special treatment if you want to call it that.

seems so thing stern because clearly nobody else is being asked to say where their funding comes from in return have access to facebook. so that's clearly where they're at but it's there's no logic to it as you pointed out in your reports and we'll just have to see how this develops as you pointed out they're very popular pages and of course you can ban them from facebook we can't ban them from the internet and a lot of this kind of attempts at censorship usually backfire of usually backfired in history lots of young people for example of the told not to look for something a definite going to go out and try and find it and if we look at you know other countries that have state or publicly funded media like france twenty four hour jazeera how likely is it that they would agree to our disclaimers to each of their side projects. i think you know worry it's fair enough if people know who funds or is presenting a particular piece of work and if you think about it you know all too international

wants to wants its name out there it wants its brand to be recognized so in a sense saying that this is all stuff is not really that much of a punishment taking it down all together certainly is. and of course there is bound to be the question why do we have to say all this when all these other people don't i mean al jazeera for example is funded by the government of qatar which doesn't have democratic elections has been associated with the terrorist activities across the region according to saudi arabia and the americans who are also associated with terrorist activities of the u.s. government organizations going to say what they're up to i mean in this country have the integrity initiative from brum by the state what's the institute for state . has been integrity initiative and that's funded by him or six as far as we can tell and of course the there are there online telling everybody not to listen to this and to listen to learn and then actually funded by the british government they don't say what they're doing now they've been i wanted a psychological warfare operation but hardly anything about this in the mainstream

media here although it has been covered you know on page six of the inside of major newspapers i mean if we look at the way facebook handled this as well martin it was five days after they were contacted by. the network c.n.n. suspending first contacting later is that the right way to do it all or would you call this really reactionary censorship. well i mean facebook themselves are under big big attack those a parliamentary committee investigating their activities recently which said that they were the turned into a kind of gangster issue organization and so the you know all of these big media companies are actually under scrutiny about what they actually do and you know how they actually operate and what they allow what they don't allow in how they're funded and so on and so because the panicking when they come under pressure from c.n.n. to take this stuff down they take it down first and think about it later because that's the reputation down the drain you know media savvy teenagers look at that

and think you know well you're just a sellout we're not only usual stuff anymore facebook is dying and potential is going to die commercially if it doesn't have the respect of the people who. and that's that's the dilemma there in governments are putting the pressure to do certain things but their audiences on put him under pressure to do the opposite to make their minds up which side of the fence they're on ok martin summers journalist and political commentator thanks for coming into the program author. thank you and moving back in a couple of minutes so don't go away. but

politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. want. to be close it's like the faux story of the morning can't be good. interested in the logs of our. first six.

welcome back to the program india claims it hit a training camp belonging to a kashmir based have agreed killing three hundred fighters the indian foreign secretary says the airstrike targeted the mohammad group which was responsible for the deaths of at least forty police officers earlier this month. india has been repeatedly urging pakistan to be action against a gesture how much to prevent jihad these from being trained and armed inside pakistan. but has no concrete action to dismantle the infrastructure of terrorism on its soil in the face of. a preemptive strike became absolutely necessary psychs are the first across the defacto border since a war between the two countries broke out in one thousand nine hundred seventy one pakistan condemned the incursion while the military rejected india's claim saying that no infrastructure was hit no casualties were reported and pakistani jets

forced the engine planes back to their own territory the pakistani military also shared images of the alleged aftermath of the instant the foreign minister insists his country will respond. to. all. of it using. the dean of the school of international affairs shared his thoughts with us on the country's troubling tensions. are the sun is going to be nigh. succeeded militarily because that would be huge blow to the christie especially of the military establishment. in fact to be made to be succeeded in two thousand and sixteen as well when prime minister narendra modi ordered. surgical strike on. special operation mission inside the senate territory on both cases the middle

point that terrorism will not go on answered and that's why you want to see these contrasting it. live to islamabad political analyst job and rather joins us to discuss this further job and thanks for coming on to the program why why do you think india and pakistan have such widely different accounts of what happened in choose days or strike. i think the situation is very committed of did it's a photo. of the scene with this indian plane had hit it was empty lent it was a florist because of the shift of the four bombs that did drop there was a new mud developing and i think that the cracks have a good one person was injured and that is all what has happened there are no through lost the i don't know dead bodies and tomorrow as we speak the impacts on louisa media i think is a planning to pick a journalist from different countries who does seem off this so-called lost so i

think a by to model the scene is good to be very clear but there is also but there is a fact there did is a breach of pox on sovereign immunity and that is a heart of the a concert issue that has to be at the highest level and pakistan has been doing it back but in what manner that is a question of that is a guess by anybody no model of national command authority is great meet national command authority was visibly supervising box of. that meeting is going to be very very important and my understanding of the situation is that globally obvious un is going to hit a million a different member it may be a surprise with the indians but then it is deadly it is going to be followed by a longing by pakistan about warming the are voting for conflict because pakistan basically has none structured to go duke or devices which means that bugs on again

explored these devices would that it is a twenty five so order to short order of calmness on bugs on the side of the border is married and that is something indian needs to understand and let me tell you where he clearly going by what i've seen when by what i have a clock with difficulty shows over the period of time. but to something in india us either. org you can by. the details very third of nuclear conflict is very much do if there is a full fledged conventional war because it entails partisan loses in any manner there is a possibility of pakistan using. nuclear warheads and the best for that kind of situation does not happen that means it would be not only disaster this oldish yeah but also elsewhere in the world. javid he said that they can either live together or they can die together isn't it preferable that they live together. rather than

go ahead with what you're suggesting could be quite serious action. why i don't love you son has been saying time and again let's live together let's start out what is happening on the couch mean more than randa hundred thousand people have been killed by the indian forces the. have gone missing but the indians all the time did accusing pakistan that it is sponsoring terrorism a dead are seventeen un security council resolutions on disputed kashmir region india is supposed to hold a plebiscite india is not holding practice of the and they are basically trying to create a situation whereby they. can blame pakistan that what is happening inside because you need that is because of the density i think look at what the indians themselves are saying that all those daylight hours they have been writing these that disputed push me to gen has gone all to often just control or not they're trying to shift the blame on to fuck his son and the fact that did out elections after

a few months so the indian prime minister is trying to create a plausible situation whereby. look we have conducted attacks against a terrorist in pakistan so because of those reasons because of the flaccus and sentiments we need lots of indirection. ok to have an iran that political analyst and isn't about transplants the profound shang at those things. now the iranian foreign minister surprise resignation has been rejected by president rouhani according to a statement from the foreign ministry mohamed jabbered sorry for earlier took to instagram to announce he's quitting after five years but didn't say why here are some of the key moments during his time as iran's top diplomats. one thousand and ten those pieces they have. put into perspective this a president today's resolution can only. people of the historic injustices.

would. you. like to try on now and we're joined by journalist lonnie who's also a visiting scholar at the center for middle east strategic studies thanks for coming on to the program now there's a suspicion in some quarters in there that the airstrikes were partly

a political stunt to boost government popularity ahead of the upcoming election how likely is that the case in your opinion. well the reason for the resignation. has been said there was a none coordination in the internal resonance in the administration but it was it came as in the continental of a cumulation of science some challenges facing the government as a result of the non-delivery of the nuclear threat as well as the month or the livery of. the mccann's them in order to facilitate the trade with iran so whether this was the reason behind the resignation or not but if it can have some results i think the resignation can add to the popularity of mr zarif and this can if he doesn't come by i think this will add to his

popularity for the if he stays and calm bikes to the cabin that i think he will have some critics or opponents which have mired their positions toward him and he will see those critics to guest him but there are some unofficial reports which have not been confirmed so far that maybe the foreign minister might stay and draw a bike from the resignation yami say that if he goes back you might have some critics but nevertheless the resignation has been rejected by the president and why do you think that that even check today. because you know foreign minister zarif he is one of the key members of the cabinet and one of the most important issues for you ron to face has been the sanctions against the country as well as facilitating

the financial mechanics of the other countries in order to decrease the pressure of the sanctions so the foreign ministry led by the minister has been having a leading role in this regard and that's why is he leads. to the problems the iranian administration is facing as well as it's also can have some return cautions or impact on the future of the nuclear the because foreign minister was. there and the highest ranking official to go. in there go shares since he was the one who led the negotiations in order to strike the. if he leaves as one of the architects of the as one of the most. supporters of the nuclear then i think you can have serious impact on the fate of the accords as

a whole his departure can have i think serious impact on iran's foreign policy and that's why you ran an administration as well as just with six our emerging came to stay ok i'll pass as law jan i stand visiting scholar at the center for middle east statistics studies in front of time thank you very much. kay and documentaries up next called the ultimate power to penalty so stay with us. when lawmakers manufacture to sentenced him to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. when the finance larry go around the list is only the one percent.
